A CorroN FIRE.-On Thursday
morning, just about day light fire was
discovered in tho cotton lying on the
platform at Woodwards. Before any
thing could be done towards extin-
gushing the flames ninety-five bales
were consumed. The loss falls wholly
on the railroad company, the cotton
having been received by them. Tho
platform was also burned. Prepara-
tions were being made to rebuild the
depot burned last year, and it is a
fortunate circumstance that it had not
been or it would have also went in the
general wreck. There is no other
explanation Of the origin of the fire,
except that it caught from spark
from q passing engine.
WOODEN BUILDINGS. There is no
statute on our book, we believe, pro-
hibiting the erection of wooden build
ings OH Main street or anywhere else.
We belieye it is high time something
of this kind should be done, in
reference to Main street at least.
Already there are many wooden build
ings OH that street which are stand
ing invitation to big conflagration,
which, wonderful to say, has never
come. But if it ever comes the fewer
wooden buildings the smaller the FIRE.
There are vast interests wrapt up in
the buildings in the business portion
Of the street, and to further jeopardizo
these interests by the erection of
wooden buildings is suicidal in our
view. The Council will doubtless put
stop to it hereafter.
